We would benefit very much from having someone who actually maintains a suite of cross-compilers for kernel developers. Yes, the stuff I put together is very old and at the time crosstool was horridly hard to use. Hardly any combinations of anything actually worked - what you see there is about 5% of the toolchains I had to build. Apparently is has become better. > Or shall we just recommend emdebian to everyone? :) That sounds suspiciously like "thou shalt use debian". I was so traumatised by dselect ten years ago that I don't think I could afford the therapy bills. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
